There was also a concurrent examination of the link between vitamin D and osteoporosis, and voila! they figured out that the RDA was deficient altogether. Rickets, also known as vitamin D deficiency, is on the rise in the United States. Seriously.

I was so intrigued by your 4000 IU recommendation that I did a lot of looking around and started a board on Vit D and depression. http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/alter/20041022/msgs/410247.html I hope you will check it out. Maybe you can answer my question on there as to why sunlight Vit D isn't toxic, but supplemental is -- assuming it is -- when it's the same kind, or is it?
